Lucky I checked.

Thanks.

I couldn’t remember at what stage I nominated the use. It took so many attempts to build in the right place last time.

Sorry everyone for the delay!

New house purchased, carpet cleaners have been through, 2 rooms painted, and a dozen or so little maintenance/improvement projects done… That was quite the 4-day weekend O_O

Things move fast in the US. Buying a house here is a 2 month job

What can I say, we Americans ensure it’s as easy as possible to spend hundreds of thousands of someone else’s dollars.

The first flat I bought, I had the offer accepted in June, and couldn’t move in until October :sleeping:

With this house, we bought and sold with the same agent. No chain either end. Still took 2 months.

We’ve decided we’re never moving again

Unless I stumble across a big bag of money and succeed in laundering it without the tax office or Yakuza noticing, that’s something we don’t really have any choice about.

If something isn’t highlighted, it isn’t in your ZoC (unless I forgot you were manning a harbour or something). In this case, no stables or harbour are manned, so your ZoC extends 2 land hexes from your city. The path across land to 25-21 is three hexes, so not in your ZoC.

8-2 is outside your zone of control.

I’d like to drop from this game. I’m mere minutes from tearing down my computer and office for my move and the next week or so will be very frantic. I’d hate to slow down the game’s pace even more than I already have.

I have made serious mistakes and am not in contention for winning.

However: my absence may give some players undue map advantage (though they likely already have it).

Let me hear your thoughts.

Thank you!

Nooooooo! < My thoughts.

On the delay: I’m fine with taking however long you need. If the issue isn’t primarily time, one of the supposed advantages of PBF over Vassal or whatever is that you don’t actually need to use a computer.

On the contention: you have a lot of wood and food, and are the only player with a brewery, meaning your second city can be much more carefully positioned than anyone else’s (though now I mention it, purple could do the same). Everyone is making mistakes.

On whether or not you want to play: final decision is yours.

I don’t mind a bit of extra waiting :slight_smile:
